* fix(llama-cpp): track upstream rename checkpoint_every_nt -> checkpoint_min_step

Upstream llama.cpp renamed common_params::checkpoint_every_nt to
checkpoint_min_step and changed its default from 8192 to 256. The semantics
also shifted: it used to enforce a fixed checkpoint cadence during prefill,
now it sets a minimum spacing between context checkpoints. Track the new
field name in grpc-server.cpp and accept the old option names as backward-
compatible aliases for users with existing configs.

| `kv_unified` or `unified_kv` | boolean | Use a single unified KV buffer shared across all sequences. Default: `true` (LocalAI override; upstream defaults to `false` but auto-enables it when slot count is auto). **Required for `cache_idle_slots` to work**: without it the server force-disables idle-slot saving at init, and the prompt cache is never written across requests. | `kv_unified:false` |
| `cache_idle_slots` or `idle_slots_cache` | boolean | On a new task, save the previous slot's KV state into the prompt cache (and clear the slot) so a later request with the same prefix can warm-load it. Default: `true`. Auto-disabled by the server if `kv_unified=false` or `cache_ram=0`. | `cache_idle_slots:false` |
| `n_ctx_checkpoints` or `ctx_checkpoints` | integer | Maximum number of context checkpoints per slot (used for partial-prefix recovery, e.g. SWA). Default: `32`. | `ctx_checkpoints:16` |
| `checkpoint_every_nt` or `checkpoint_every_n_tokens` | integer | Create a context checkpoint every N tokens during prefill. `-1` disables checkpointing. Default: `8192`. | `checkpoint_every_nt:4096` |

| `split_mode` or `sm` | string | How to split the model across multiple GPUs: `none` (single GPU only), `layer` (default — split layers and KV across GPUs), `row` (split rows across GPUs), `tensor` (experimental tensor parallelism — requires `flash_attention: true`, no KV-cache quantization, manually set `context_size`, and a llama.cpp build that includes [#19378](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/19378)). | `split_mode:tensor` |
